We all know who was the real Queen in Westeros, am I right? Let us all take a moment to remember Lady Olenna of House Tyrell, also known as the Queen of Thorns. Despite being one of the tamer deaths on Game of Thrones, Lady Olenna still manages to go out fighting, dropping bombs on her way out. Even as she faces her own death, we feel no pity for her - we instead feel a bit sorry for Jaime, indeed anyone who finds themselves on the receiving end of those sharp and punishing thorns. This week we pour one out for the Queen of Thorns with a royal cocktail scented with roses and hiding a dangerous edge.

Ser Jorah just can't quit Daenerys of House Targaryen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Mother of Dragons, the Unburnt, Breaker of Chains. We watch him return again and again, back to Dany's side until she has no choice but to accept him back into her service. Devoted and doomed to unrequited love, in perpetuity. What does perpetuity mean? For fucking ever, that's what it means. Greyscale can't stop him, a parade of young lovers can't stop him, not even white walkers can keep Jorah from his Queen. He stands by her, watching her love other, lesser, men from deep inside the friend zone, none (okay, maybe one) equal to his singular devotion. This week, we honor the pure heart of Ser Jorah Mormont with our own recipe for hearts deliciously scorched and split in two: Grilled Artichokes with Garlic and Lemon.
